Comprehensive School Quality Reviews: FairTest has
collaborated with Coalition for Effective Schools on a Working Paper
(PDF) and a Summary (PDF) of a Review system.
“A Better Way to Evaluate Schools” outlines a 3-part school evaluation system – school quality reviews, limited standardized testing, plus school-based and local evidence.
The Forum on Educational Accountability has released its 2010 recommendations for the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), currently named “No Child Left Behind.” FEA prepared this summary of the recommendations. (PDF file)
This page provides alternative assessment and accountability options based on ESSA as well as alternatives developed earlier. For additional resources on performance assessment and other alternatives, see Authentic Assessment. http://fairtest.org/k-12/authentic%20assessment
